Hey guys! Here is chapter 2! I apologize for any mistakes, or grammar errors.
Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts, only the plot.
Kairi couldn't keep the smile from forming on her face.
It was finally time for music! Her and Namine's favorite class.
The Hitari twins sat beside each other, awaiting their teacher's arrival. A few students were behind them, making rambunctious noise or still catching up with friends. "Pretty loud in here," Namine mumbled.
"Well…it is music." Kairi said.
Suddenly, the door slammed open to reveal two people; Xion and the music teacher, Mrs. Satoshi. Xion locked eyes with Kairi and grinned, rushing to take the empty seat on her left. "Sorry I'm late, and I apologize for not arriving at lunch." Jeez, the redhead thought. She sure does apologize a lot.
"That's fine. Oh, I'd like you to meet my twin sister, Namine. Nami, this is Xion."
The blonde gave a timid wave while Xion returned the gesture. Kairi was about to say something, until Mrs. Satoshi clapped her hands. All the students directed their attention towards the teacher, awaiting her words. "Good evening students, my name is Mrs. Satoshi, as many of you may know. I've been…"
She continued to give her introduction speech, which the Hitari twins and Xion seemed to drown out.
"…Now, I will pass the clipboard around and you may write the desired instrument you wish to play beside your name. I know some of you wish to sing, but we only specialize in instruments. However, there is the choir if you want to sign up for that." Kairi groaned. "Ugh…I hated the choir."
Xion raised an eyebrow. "You sing?"
"Well, from time to time. But the group was full of girls looking for attention and not actually…feeling the music, ya know?" The short haired girl gave a nod. "Yeah…well I'd love to hear you sing sometime." Kairi smiled. "Thanks, but it won't be for long."
"How come?" Namine asked. "You do it all the time in the shower."
Kairi nudged her sister and grabbed the clipboard from her sister's hands. "That's not what I meant." She quickly wrote the words electric guitar, beside her name before handing it off to Xion. To be honest, Kairi wanted to sing, but after her experience with the choir, she had a feeling that singing was invalid. "Piano, huh?" The redhead commented, looking at Xion's choice.
"Yeah, keyboard, piano…I love it, play it everyday."
Namine pouted. "You're so lucky! We used to have a piano until it got old and decided to throw it away."
"Wow…sorry to hear that…" Xion said unsure. Kairi chuckled and snapped her attention Mrs. Satoshi. "Alright, interesting choices. We should be playing a few weeks from now." There were some groans, but the twins shrugged; already used to his. "Good thing we have our own instruments," Kairi whispered to Namine.
The school day was finally over and the Hitari twins were retrieving items from their lockers. Most of the students were already gone, rushing to head home and do whatever they wished. "Axel and Larxene might come over." Namine said. Kairi rolled her eyes. "When don't they come over?" The blonde giggled until she froze. Her hands hurriedly dug around in her bag and she sighed.
"I knew I left it. Come with me to the music room,"
Kairi frowned. "What is it?"
Namine slammed her locker closed and already started walking down the hall. "I left my sketchbook." The redhead smirked. "You still carry that thing around?" The blonde shrugged. "Why wouldn't I?"
"I haven't seen you-,"
"Take a look at my body
Look at my hands
There's so much here
That I don't understand,"
Namine paused at the door and held her hand up, signaling her sister to do so as well. "You hear that?" She asked. "Your face saved like promises, whispered like prayers…I don't need them." Curiously, Namine peeked into the window of the door and widened her eyes. "It's Xion!" And indeed it was; the short haired girl sat on the bench, as her fingers roamed on the ivory keys.
She would occasionally flip a page from the book in front of her and continue playing.
"She missed out about the part of her singing." Kairi said, astounded by the girl's wonderful voice. The twins continued to listen to Xion play the song, until it stopped all too soon. "I've never had an audience before." Kairi and Namine jumped, and stared into the window to see Xion smirking at them. Namine slowly opened the door, a sheepish smile on her face. "Sorry…I came to get my sketchbook."
"Oh, so it's yours. You're a great drawer."
The blonde's cheeks turned a deep red, while mumbling a small "thank you". Kairi grinned. "So you play piano and sing. You're a package aren't you?" Xion shrugged. "Like I said, I practice from time to time…" Namine swallowed. "Sorry for um, ya know…stalking you from the window."
"It's okay, just…don't tell anyone."
Kairi widened her eyes. This girl had an amazing talent and she wanted to hide it? Was she crazy? "Why would you want to do that?" Xion shrugged and gently brought down the lid on the piano. "I'm not a fan of attention." She grabbed the book from the stand and shoved it in her backpack. "Besides, it's not like things would change if I were to sing."
"You don't know that." Namine said.
"Did you write that song?" Kairi asked. "Uh, yeah. I wrote it a while ago." The blonde smiled. "It's sounds pretty cool." There was an awkward silence filling the air until Xion cleared her throat. "I should go; I'll see you two tomorrow."
Without another word, Xion exited the music room.
